Ant
Course 2001
Ant Course is designed for systematists,
ecologists, behaviorists, conservation biologists, and other biologists
whose research responsibilities require a greater understanding
of ant taxonomy. It emphasizes the classification and identification
of more than fifty ant genera of North America. Lectures include
background information on the ecology, life histories and evolution
of ants. Field trips are structured to teach collecting and sampling
techniques, and associated lab work provides instruction on specimen
preparation, sorting and labeling. Information on equipment/supply
vendors, literature, and people resources is also presented. The
